# A lightweight beer

Let's be honest, in the ever-evolving world of web development, we're all looking for that sweet spot: powerful functionality without the bloat. We want speed, efficiency, and something that doesn't feel like lugging around a digital elephant. And if you're looking at the chart below, you're probably thinking, "Wow, XYZ is huge!". You're not wrong. But look all the way to the top. See that? That's Beer CSS.

# The principles

This project was guided by the **"Germany Beer Purity Law"** or **"Reinheitsgebot"** created in 1516. This law states that beer should only be brewed with the following ingredients: **water**, **barley malt** and **hops**. Only 3 ingredients. Exciting, right? So we thinking about It and our 3 ingredients are: [Settings](docs/SETTINGS.md), [Elements](docs/ELEMENTS.md) and [Helpers](docs/HELPERS.md). This sounds weird at first time, because It's not BEM, OOCSS, SMACSS, ITCSS, "Utility first" or any other approach. Our approach doesn't avoid some bad practices, but is lightweight, tasty and pure like a beer. Just try it and feel it! 😁

```
|  SETTINGS     |       // The settings affects all document
|---------------|----|
|               |    |
|  ELEMENTS     |    |  // The elements are the components, widgets or tags
|               |    |
|---------------|    |
|               |    |
|               |    |
|  HELPERS      |----|  // The common helpers makes the elements more scalable and customizable
|               |
|               |
|---------------|
```
